Why should I use an asthma action plan?

The aim of a personalised asthma action plan is to help you take early action to prevent or reduce the severity of an asthma attack.
Follow your asthma action plan for:

More days without asthma symptoms

Fewer days off work or school

Fewer asthma attacks

Reduced need to use your reliever puffer

Fewer hospital visits.

How do I get my personalised action plan?

If you or someone you are responsible for has asthma, ask your doctor about developing a personal asthma action plan.

Once you and your doctor have completed your asthma action plan, it will be given to you to keep. You could use it to remind yourself of your usual medication dose, know what triggers or symptoms to look out for, or check what to do if you start to feel unwell.

Action plans are available in many different formats including a handy Z-card that folds down to credit card size for your wallet or purse or it can be uploaded to Asthma Buddy on your smartphone.

Remember to regularly review your asthma action plan with your doctor, as your level of asthma severity or control may change over time.
